Fairchild Air Force Base's housing stock is part of what determines termite risk. Wood-frame homes with basements dominate this dry landscape, built for cold winters rather than the persistent rain seen west of the Cascades. Combined with the local climate — a continental climate with genuine seasonal extremes, far drier than western Washington year-round — soil-to-wood contact points around the foundation are the most common entry route.
Because termite colonies operate underground and out of sight, our process leans heavily on inspection: checking every foundation wall, sill plate, and crawl space for activity. From there we deploy either soil treatment or a Sentricon-style bait and monitoring program, both backed by a written service report.
